I purchased an 11400 off ebay to replace the G6400 in my pfsense router. Before I do the CPU swap I just wanted to confirm, is it possible to set PL1 and PL2 to 4096 (unlimited) on a non-K seriess? i.e. unlimited 4.4Ghz single core. The BIOS supports these settings, I checked that before ordering. I just want to make sure it’s possible before doing the dreaded downtime. Thanks
